I'm continuing with the Red Words in the Bible. These are Jesus Commands. It helps me to study these and keep them in mind. If you have time, the commands today are elaborated on by Jesus and reading them in context will broaden your understanding.
BE LIGHT AND SALT
Matt.
5:16 Let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and
praise your Father in heaven.
Luke
11:35 See to it that the light within you is not darkness.
Mark
9:50 Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with each other.
John
12:35 Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you.
John
12:36 Put your trust in light while you have it, so that you may become sons of
light.
BE LIGHT AND SALT
Dear
Father, I want to let the light of your Word and the light of your Holy Spirit
- within me shine. Keep me learning to do this. I know sometimes I hold back
out of fear, shyness, passivity or laziness. Teach me how to let it shine so it will draw others to you. You are
revealing residues of darkness in me and helping rid me of these. I also want to be salty - add your flavor to
my conversations and my relationships. Help me break old habits and any
resistances that keep me bland or that hide your light. Fill me with your light each day. I thank you for the knowledge that you are
the Light of the world.
Blessings, Dottie
Printing the pray...if you don't care. I need this by my side to remind me to shine! :) Love you!
